Stacking The Shelves and Mailbox Monday are a pair of weekly memes that are about sharing the books that came your way over the past week, and which you've added to your shelves - whether they be physical or virtual, borrowed or bought, or for pleasure or review.

Another quiet, but very exciting, week on the review front with some epic doorstoppers landing on my . . . well, doorstop.

• Trial of Intentions by Peter OrullianI thoroughly enjoyed the author's definitive edition of Peter's first book, so I'm really anxious to dive in and see where the long-awaited follow-up takes the characters.

• Seveneves by Neal StephensonI'm both anxious and excited about this one. Stephenson is a very smart guy who always challenges the reader, almost forcefully educating while he entertains, but it's an experience you never regret.

I also took advantage of 50% off sale this week to nab 3 of the Star Trek: Mirror Universe collections. Exploring the dark, weird, and wild side of Trek is always fun . . . plus, I'm looking forward to rediscovering the love I had for Trek before Abrams so sorely disappointed me on the big screen.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is another weekly meme, this time focused on what books are spending the most time in your hands and in your head, as opposed to what's been added to your shelf.

I've read quite a few - Original Series, TNG, DS9 Voyager, and some of the continuations that imagine how the shared universe developed after TV. I think the episodic nature lends itself much more to books than Star Wars gap fillers.

I finally started reading The Unremembered this week so looking forward to seeing what you think of Trial of Intentions, and Karen Memory too! Think I'm going to have to break down and buy a copy sooner rather than later!

I'm curious about Seveneves as well (what's up with Stephenson and his weird titles, though?) I have a copy of Karen Memory and I hope to start it soon, I've heard mostly raves about it. Enjoy your week!

Nice assortment of books. I've heard good things about Karen Memory too. I'm old enough that I devoured the novels based on the Original Star Trek series as they were released. I didn't get into TNG as much. Happy reading!

Vampires, when they're done right, never get old. I'm not necessarily talking dark and evil, but edgy, supernatural, and without even a hint of sparkles. Vampire of Blackpool is one of those books that does vampires right, a quick read that left me wanting more.Catherine Green spins a tale of a vampire, a witch, a vampire hunter, and a vampire detective that has five-hundred years of history behind it. Meredith Hanson is an utterly fascinating protagonist, a tired, jaded vampire who has grown deliberately careless, just looking for a confrontation. A beautiful monster, she opens the story by feeding upon a pair of teenage lovers, and then flying out over the ocean to dump their bodies.

Samantha Morris, on the other hand, is the kind of young woman who defines romantic protagonist. She's a cute, innocent little witch, but one with claws and a backbone. Her flirting with Meredith open up the story in several ways, giving Meredith a reason to live again, while she plays refe…

Wow. I finished this over the weekend, and I am still struggling to find the right words to convey what a massive emotional impact it had on me. Assassin's Fate is everything I could have asked of Robin Hobb - an entirely satisfying conclusion to not just the story of FitzChivalry Farseer, but that of the entire Realms of the Elderlings and all its interconnected works.

This is a book of Farseers, Fools, White Prophets, Liveships, Dragons, are more. It's as if everything that Hobb has ever teased or hinted at before is finally realized here. Not content to merely rip out our hearts, she tears the entire world asunder, ensuring that no corner of the Six Duchies will rise from the ashes of Fitz's final story unchanged. Let there be no mistake, this is a book of endings. Yes, there are new beginnings to be found as well, but Assassin's Fate marks the end of so many characters and storylines that it's easy to miss some of them.

Follow the Money by Gail Z. Martin
Follow the money. If you want to know why someone is doing something--especially if it's something they shouldn't be doing--follow the money.

All too often in epic fantasy, we just start with the assumption that the king and nobility were born wealthy and go from there. Things get interesting when you start asking questions. Where did they get their money? Was it a one-time thing (like a grant or a reward or a treasure) or is there an ongoing flow of money--and where does it come from? How financially stable are they really? What would it take to make them unstable? Who had money and lost it? Who wants money and will do anything to get it? Does money equal social status? Are there people who kept status and lost money? Got money and couldn't get status? What about those who fell out of favor or were born on the wrong side of the blanket?

When I set up the world for my new Darkhurst series (first book, Scourge debuts July 15), I came at it…
